Product Description

Z-FA-FMK, a novel and irreversible inhibitor of cysteine protease, also inhibits effector caspases. It is a control peptidic fluoromethylketone (boc-Thr-CH2F). Z-FA-FMK is capable of selectively inhibiting recombinant effector caspases 2, -3, -6, and -7 in addition to inhibiting caspase activity in vitro. Conversely, Z-FA-FMK only partially inhibits the apoptosome-associated caspase 9 in vitro, while purified initiator caspases 8 and 10 remain unaffected.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Cathepsin B; cathepsin L; Caspase-2; Caspase-3; Caspase-6; Caspase-7
ln Vitro
Z-FA-FMK prevents fibroblasts and osteoclasts from breaking down fibrillar collagen. [2] Through the inhibition of NF-kappaB-dependent gene expression in macrophages, Z-FA-FMK suppresses the production of cytokines induced by LPS.[3] In vitro, Z-FA-FMK effectively inhibits T cell proliferation that is brought on by mitogens and IL-2.[4]
ln Vivo
Z-FA-FMK dramatically increases the growth of pneumococci in the blood and lungs in a mouse model of intranasal pneumococcal infection.[4] For severe combined immunodeficiency mice, Z-FA-FMK prevents reovirus infection of host heart tissues and Ras oncogenic tumors.[5]
Cell Assay
Through the incorporation of [³H]thymidine, T cell proliferation after mitogen stimulation is measured. PBMCs or purified T cells are seeded in a 96-well plate and stimulated with PHA (5 μg/ml), costimulated with 5 μg/ml anti-CD3 mAb and 2.5 μg/ml anti-CD28 mAb, or PMA plus ionomycin in the presence or absence of z-FA-FMK. [methyl-³H]thymidine (0.037 MBq) is pulsed into the cells for the final 16 hours of their 72-hour culture. Using a Tomtec automated multiwell harvester, the cells are collected onto glass fiber filter mats.
Animal Protocol
SCID mice with HT1080 xenograft (6-8 weeks)
1 mg/kg
Intratumor injection; every 2 days, for 27 days

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: ~77 mg/mL (~199.3 mM)

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.38 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.38 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
